MUSEO DELLA MENTE

The Laboratory of Mind Museum, inaugurated in 2000, traces the history of the Santa Maria della Pietà Hospital, from its foundation as “Hospitale de’poveri forestieri et pazzi of the Alma City of Rome” to the definitive closure in 1999, five centuries later, as a psychiatric hospital. An immersive narrative itinerary through the memories of the asylum, for a reading of alterity, its forms and its languages, to combat stigma and promote mental health.
